400-Level Course

Electives

With permission of the director of Native American studies, the following courses may also be counted among the North and Latin American electives when they have appropriate course content or a research paper is undertaken:

Archaeological or Anthropological Fieldwork

Students are strongly encouraged to participate in archaeological or anthropological fieldwork (e.g., ANTH 253) and/or first-hand curricular contact with a Native American community.

With the advice and consent of the director, students are encouraged to enroll for a summer or term in field schools in archaeology or social anthropology, or Native American community colleges. Such approved programs may earn Native American Studies course credit.

Students are further encouraged to participate in non-curricular opportunities such as summer archaeological fieldwork with a Colgate faculty member or hands-on research with Native American collections in the Longyear Museum of Anthropology.
